   5 Subject: [PATCH] netfilter: conntrack: sanitize table size default settings
   6
   7 conntrack has two distinct table size settings:
   8 nf_conntrack_max and nf_conntrack_buckets.
   9
  10 The former limits how many conntrack objects are allowed to exist
  11 in each namespace.
  12
  13 The second sets the size of the hashtable.
  14
  15 As all entries are inserted twice (once for original direction, once for
  16 reply), there should be at least twice as many buckets in the table than
  17 the maximum number of conntrack objects that can exist at the same time.
  18
  19 Change the default multiplier to 1 and increase the chosen bucket sizes.
  20 This results in the same nf_conntrack_max settings as before but reduces
  21 the average bucket list length.
